El Salvador: Activists Struggle to Recover Human Rights Archives
(IPS) -
Some 50,000 files on crimes against humanity are languishing in an
undisclosed location in El Salvador, prey to damp and the ravages of
time, while activists and lawyers frantically try to regain control
over them.
Without
prior warning, on Sept. 30 the Catholic Church suddenly closed the
office that had spent decades painstakingly collecting the documents:
the Tutela Legal del Arzobispado – the legal aid office of the
archbishop of San Salvador.
But
the former employees of the office, who learned that day that it was
being closed, are working to reopen it elsewhere and are laying claim
to the files.
